Revision as of 19:57, 28 June 2018
For configuring client-side visual effects.
Usage from Hammer
Effect flags can be configured from Hammer. To do so turn off SmartEdit and add a new keyvalue pair:
effects <n>
'n' is the sum total of the flags you want to use. For example, 66 would mean EF_BRIGHTLIGHT and EF_NORECEIVESHADOW.
Flags
- 1 -
EF_BONEMERGE - Merges bones of names shared with a parent entity to the position and direction of the parent's.
- 2 -
EF_BRIGHTLIGHT - Emits a dynamic light of RGB(250,250,250) and a random radius of 400 to 431 from the origin.
- 4 -
EF_DIMLIGHT - Emits a dynamic light of RGB(100,100,100) and a random radius of 200 to 231 from the origin.
- 8 -
EF_NOINTERP - Don't interpolate on the next frame.
Warning:Causes crashes.- 16 -
EF_NOSHADOW - Don't create a render-to-texture shadow, does not affect projected texture shadows.
Note:Same as disableshadows 1.- 32 -
EF_NODRAW - Entity is completely ignored by the client, and stops drawing the entity. Can cause prediction errors if a player proceeds to collide with it on the server, use
rendermode 10instead if this is a problem. - 64 -
EF_NORECEIVESHADOW - Don't receive dynamic shadows.
Note:Same as disablereceiveshadows 1.- 128 -
EF_BONEMERGE_FASTCULL - For use with
EF_BONEMERGE. If set, the entity will use its parent's origin to calculate whether it is visible; if not set, it will set up parent's bones every frame even if the parent is not in the PVS. - 256 -
EF_ITEM_BLINK - Blink an item so that the user notices it. Added for original Xbox, and really not subtle.
- 512 -
EF_PARENT_ANIMATES - Assume that the parent entity is always animating. Causes it to realign every frame.
Note:Does not function with the "effects" keyvalue.- 1024 -
EF_MARKED_FOR_FAST_REFLECTION - Marks the entity to render in fast water reflections.
Note:Same as drawinfastreflection 1.- 2048 -
EF_NOSHADOWDEPTH - Stops env_cascade_lighting and env_projected_texture from making shadows for this entity.
Note:Same as disableshadowdepth 1.- 4096 -
EF_NOFLASHLIGHT - Stops projected textures from making shadows for this entity.
Note:Same as disableflashlight 1.Functions
